REDEYE_CVW-66 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) For me, the new stones cluttered around does not make a lot of sense. For one, it ruins the airfields, not to mention that all farmers would remove them from their fields as well, and they don't look particularly good either. Seeing a large stone every 3 yards does not enhance immersion. HOWEVER- the patch has brought a very significant performance boost, that together with the gamma slider is very velcome:) Edited June 21, 2017 by zionid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AG-51_Razor Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Haven't seen any stones yet but I have to agree that my performance have improved and the picture is much crisper/clearer than before with no discernible change in FPS. Very well done ED! BRAVO ZULU :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyforDCS Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Yeah they look kind of unnatural. Im sure that they could remove them and no one would even notice, and it would probably improve performance. Every little bit counts.

Texac Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Surely it may need some improvements but I think as a new addition to the terrain it's pretty nice to look at. Different stones with different sizes and better placements might be a thing to improve but I can imagine similar ground clutters on other maps too. And if those small stones reduce your perfomance an option to have them disabled might be a possible solution then. - My Skins/Liveries - Improved F-16C Texture Template • Texac on YouTube • Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Fenrir Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Anyone know if there is a way to turn these off somewhere in a .lua file? Developers, could we have an option to turn these stones clutter off in settings? That way those who like 'em can keep 'em whilst those who don't can hit a check box and get rid?

REDEYE_CVW-66 Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 That would be extremely helpful. You can turn off the grass, but the stones remain. It should be possible to turn it off, better off remove it. I would like to see a single photo of a WW2 airfield littered with big, round stones all over the field. My guess is that this would be the first thing any engineer would remove to ensure safe operations at the field. THen again, its all WIP so hopefully they will be gone in time.

Screamadelica Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Emu Parade anyone? The grass does look pretty dodgy as well. Definitely needs some changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screamadelica Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Haha, I don't think hardly anyone outside of Australia or even outside of Australian Defence or Police will know what you mean by Emu Parade. There are a fair few of us that fall into that category on this forum. Former NSW Mounted Police here. So, plenty of volunteers out there....... Seriously though, what do all the stones and sticks add to a flight sim, just some decent looking grass and everything is good. Doesn't this just add to the texture loading process? Cheers, Scream.

Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I also think that adding many little stones has not much sense in a flight sim and will decrease performance more that increase the visual quality BUT, maybe using some big stones with the same poly count in some places creating BIG rocky formations could be a nice idea (for instance in beaches).
